Is that like, ummm, Emperor's New Clothes? Was your "cloak" invisible too?

The main benefit is if you think people will post differently if they see you're around, IMO.

Also there are times when a person just doesn't want how much time they spend here to be public knowledge for just anyone who happens to log on. So there's a privacy component. It really isn't the whole world's business how much time someone spends on a board...whether a little or a lot!

Obviously, you don't have a white hair on your head.

If you did, you could wander in and out of messages and say something. No one would say anything bad to the old man on the message board.

Unfortunately, I have quite a few white hairs and I ain't even 33 yet [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]

My short-term memory is almost non-existant and when I remember the things I've forgotten, it's usually about 3 months down the road :eek: so I'm constantly :confused: :confused:
